Pokémon fans around the globe will have the ability to complete Special Research during Pokémon GO Fest 2022. Players can choose between three branching Special Research paths, Catch, Explore, and Battle. This is also broken up into three difficulty levels (Relaxed, Standard, or Master). Choosing a particular path will lead to different tasks and rewards, so it is important that players know which one they would like to choose before the event starts. Continue reading below for a full list of quest steps and rewards for the Battle branch of GO Fest 2022’s Special Research.
All Catch Quests and Rewards
Choosing higher difficulties of the different Special Research paths does not lead to greater rewards. The only difference between the difficulty levels is the challenge that it affords players and a difficulty-specific sticker at the end of the seventh quest. The sticker simply reflects the name of the difficulty that the player chooses. Otherwise, all of the difficulties should lead players to the same results.
